This section provides instructions to help you install the Management and Monitoring Services component of Novell ZENworks Server Management to NetWare® and Windows servers.
For more information on understanding and planning your Management and Monitoring Services and for advanced setup and administration, see Management and Monitoring Services
in the Novell ZENworks 7 Server Management Administration Guide.
The following topics explain the installation procedure in detail:
If you haven’t already done so, log in with Admin or equivalent rights to the target management server and the container containing the target management server.
Insert the Novell ZENworks 7 Server Management with Support Pack 1 Program CD.
The startup page appears. If the startup page is not automatically launched after inserting the CD, you can launch it by running winsetup.exe at the root of the CD.
IMPORTANT:If you copied the Program CD structure to the installation machine’s hard drive, the path between the root of the hard drive and the first CD directory can contain only directory names that conform to the 8.3-character DOS file naming convention. If any long directory names exist in the path, the installation program does not work.
If you have not already done so, extend the schema.
The schema must be extended on the eDirectory™ tree where you want to create the ZENworks objects. For more information on how to extend the schema, see Extending the Schema.
Click > .
If you restart the target Management server after you mapped a drive at the workstation, the installation might no longer recognize the mapped drive. Detach the tree from NetWare Connection, disconnect the mapped drive, and remap the volume.
We recommend that you do not install on the sys: volume of your target Management server.
